Global script can be added to any cpack. Open a cpack and select the SCRIPTS tab. From there click “+New” and create a new script. In the top middle pane next to the “Units” tab is the “Global Control” tab. Select that and you can added the newly created script to either the Pro or Post sections. The “Pre” section is for scripts that will execute at the beginning of the game loop. The “Post” section is for scripts that will execute at the end of the game loop.

After adding a script to either, or both sections, select the script in the pre/post section by clicking on it. That will show “Script Execution Settings” in the right pane. From there you can select “Run when paused”.

When a global script is told to run when paused, it will execute every frame even if the game is paused.

Units do not directly support executing scripts while the game is paused, however, you can simulate the effect by using a global script that is set to run as paused to sent a message to units.

Create a global script that contains this code:

SendMsg("RunPaused" 0)

In a script attached to a unit add this code:

:Awake
   RegisterForMsg("RunPaused" "MyCall")
 
:MyCall  
   PrintAllSp("MyCall")

Add the global script to either the pre or post Global Control section and set to it run when paused. Now the “MyCall” method on your unit will get invoked even when the game is paused.
